Is it? I was just pondering whether or not I should do BB or DB benches today. Also, what does decline bench do except for making it easier?

>Is it?
Yes, better range of motion, more muscles involved to stabilize weights. The only benefit of barbell is you can move more weight and feed your ego

I don't know man, how hard is it to ask for a spot or just not clip the weights if you're alone.

funny, just now when i left the gym some kid almost died on the bench

Dumbbells are harder to "lift heavy" with because getting them up and into position is a workout all its own. I personally think they're better to use if you're alone for safety reasons and I used to do them myself, but honestly you might as well just do decline pushups at that point because you probably won't have dumbbells that make up 80% of your bodyweight combined (the amount you're "benching" with a pushup with raised legs) and if you did you probably couldn't get them in position anyway.

I only have adjustable DBs at home and I can't drop them so it's not really worth it.

died to 98kg???

you get one life and that's how you die

>98kg
Mfs who found him didn't even add 2 kg

The only thing you need to do is always make sure you end the rep before trying to rerack it. If you can't end the rep, lower it and do the roll of shame. 100% of these accidents happens because people are idiots who panick and try to rack the bar while they haven't locked out yet.

>because getting them up and into position is a workout all its own
Deadlifting the dumbbells onto your knees. Pushing up your knees so the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Lean back. Begin.
Not really a workout if you ask me.

Still takes considerable technique and involves a lot of muscles once the DB get heavier.

That’s why you don’t go lift alone at 4am.

Anyone have that video of the Mexican mother that did a 400lbs guillotine squat on a smith machine?

That was the last Native American you insistive pig.

I like barbell bench better because it's a bitch to go heavy with dumbells and I'm not a complete brainlet so I'm never worried.
>use safeties
>don't clip the weights
Just doing those 2 things you can either roll the weight down your chest and stand up or if you somehow fuck that up then you can unload the weights off one side and be fine. You have to be retarded to get life filtered by bench.

Big numbers.

This is why I like my training rails. At least I won't end up dead or significantly dented if I lose my grip.

What was she doing in Mexico then? Fleeing Putin's hordes no doubt, Ghost save her.

She was probably summoning spirits and saw all that metal in the way. Ghost help us all.

post chest

im pretty certain this was on the Smith Machine, the gym had a rule about being supervised if you were under 16, and he obviously wasnt using the safeties just like that Mexican lady who got guillotined recently
